AltaMed Health Network, Inc.

Who We Are

AltaMed Health Network, Inc. (AHN) was established in 2020 to support managed care for Medi-Cal members across most of Los Angeles and Orange counties. As a Restricted Knox-Keene licensed organization regulated by the California Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC), AHN partners with health plans and a broad provider network to expand access, coordinate care, and improve health outcomes; especially for Latino, multi-ethnic, and underserved communities that have historically faced barriers to care.

“Achieving NCQA Utilization Management Accreditation demonstrates that AltaMed Health Network has the systems, processes, and personnel in place to conduct inpatient utilization management in accordance with NCQA’s Utilization Management Accreditation Program and its rigorous quality standards.”

Our Core Mission

AHN’s mission is to improve the lives of Californians by connecting our members to qualified providers and high-quality services close to where they live. We deliver efficient, evidence-based, patient-centered care by coordinating across settings, strengthening access to timely specialty and hospital care, and partnering responsibly with health plans and high-performing providers to advance quality, member experience, and better outcomes.

How We Deliver for Members and Partners

Backed by AltaMed Health Services (founded in 1969) with a mission to eliminate disparities in health care access and outcomes, AHN extends that community-first commitment into managed care. Through our affiliation with AltaMed and OmniCare Medical Group, we support coordinated care and appropriate utilization across inpatient and outpatient settings.
